He was sitting in his motel room all alone, Oregon, the place where it all started, his first case with Scully, the first time he saw her beautiful body, the time he realized there was going to be more then just friendship. He was trying to wrap his brain about the case of Billy Miles and all the other abductees'. When there was a knock at the door.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
"Who is it?"
"It's me"
Mulder practically jumped from, the bed to the door and opened it.
"What's wrong Scully, you look sick?" Mulder said
"I don't know what's wrong" Scully replied
"Come in" Mulder said but this time ushering her in.
"I umm was starting to get ready for bed and I started to feel really dizzy, vertigo or something and then I just, just started to chills" Scully's eyes close to tears.
"Do you want me to call a doctor?" Mulder asked knowing that it was a stupid question considering Scully herself was a medical doctor.
"No… I just, just want to get warm" Scully said reluctantly getting into Mulder's bed and pulling over the covers.
Mulder's heart leapt at this action, although Scully was sick he still couldn't help but think about what happened between them a couple of months earlier. So Mulder hindered a little before spooning up behind Scully and hugging her but still feeling slightly tense about the whole situation. As he laid there he thought deeply to himself at how much Scully had lost due to him and the x-files: her sister had been murdered and she had become a test subject to the government and made baron. He couldn't lay there knowing that her life was going to tatters and it was his fault.
"Thank you" Scully replied shivering.
"It's not worth it Scully" Mulder finally articulated.
"What?" Scully asked in concern.
"I want you to go home" it hurt Mulder to say, but he knew it were true.
"Oh Mulder, I'm going to be fine" Scully replied tears growing more prominent in her eyes.
"No, no I've been thinking about it, looking at you today holding that baby, knowing everything that's been taken away from you, the chance for motherhood and your health and that baby, the things that 'we'. You know maybe their right" Mulder pronounced a lump growing in his throat.
"Who's right?" Scully asked knowing the answer.
"The F.B.I., maybe what they say is true, that for all the wrong reasons it's the personal costs that are too high… there's so much more you need to do with your life… there's so much more than this".
Scully whom was spooned in front of him inhaled deeply letting the tears fall dominantly down her cheeks.
"There has to be an end Scully" Mulder whispered into Scully's ear placing a kiss on her cheek.
For minutes she spent crying spooned up beside Mulder, the tears dampening the linen sheet beneath her quivering body, but after an exhausting day she fell asleep, scooped up in Mulder's arms, but he himself could not sleep and thought back to quite recently… the millennium.
